Such an endearing post match conference by Sanju Samson.

He spoke of the inner struggle that everyone has to go through to overcome fear of failure, but few speak of without pretense.

Also the humility to say it could have gone the other way and why faith is important.

There is the Hardik way to double down and not let doubt creep in - looks spectacular when it comes off, ridiculous when it doesn't.

There is the Samson way to wrestle with self doubt, persevere but know yourself well enough to not put on a mask. Feels authentic but can be self limiting.

There is the Virat way - to channel aggression into maniacal discipline and bend the world to write your history.

There is the Sachin way - Master the terrain but remain the servant of the Game to be the GOAT.

Sports is the reminder of the best possibility in us.

There is no one way for all - Only the way to channel your Svabhava towards its potential but realize the larger game is to give it all but not give in or give up but also be content at the end of the day.

Last month, China released its most sophisticated document yet on how it views AI risks and what mitigations it can implement to address them. Very interesting bits on open-source risks, labor market impacts, and CBRN. In our latest for @CarnegieEndow, @mattsheehan88 and I break down AI Safety Governance Framework 2.0:

Useful paper in the "Journal of Economic Literature" on how artificial intelligence may change the research process in economics, describing several use cases (e.g. ideation and feedback, writing, background, research, data analysis, coding, and mathematical derivations).

Pakistan has been let off the hook again!! There was no cause for a ceasefire, nor any urgency to declare a ceasefire once hostilities had commenced. Another example of the Modi government of starting something that it proved incapable of finishing off to our advantage.

A short thread about the results and their significance.

All struggling young researchers should know that truly original ideas are difficult to publish because they are likely to go above the heads of most editors. So if you are struggling, your ideas are either really bad or really good.

Roger Federer’s Commencement Address at Dartmouth yesterday might be the best speech he’s ever given.

Amazingly articulate, funny, full of wisdom. Made me laugh and tear up. I’m so very proud to have had him as my idol for the past two decades.

If you have 25 minutes to spare…
